Hello Dr Dave, welcome to Scope! I too have autistic family members which is always interesting. It's great that your son has round the clock care and help- I reckon that'll be a great source of relief for him, and you. Enjoy the community

I have just watched a film on BBC IPlayer called Black Balloon. about a young man coping with his autistic brother, it reminded me so much of my own son Andrew. It really touched me greatly
